         5 . A method of reporting patient compliance, comprising:
 triggering a switch on a syringe, the triggering corresponding to a dosage administration corresponding to a volume of a pharmaceutical from the syringe; and   sending a dosage administration data from a wireless module of the syringe upon triggering the switch.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises a potency data e. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises only an identifier corresponding to the syringe. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein a magnet is positioned in linear slidable communication with the barrel and configured to induce a magnetic field on the switch positioned on the barrel,
 wherein the switch comprises an electromagnetic sensor that is triggered by the magnetic field.   
     
     
         9 . A reporting syringe, comprising:
 a barrel in fluid communication with a needle connected with a first end of the barrel;   a piston comprising a plunger, the piston positioned within a second end of the barrel and the plunger having a fluid-tight interaction with an interior of the barrel;   a microprocessor in electronic communication with a switch and a wireless module, the microprocessor configured to send a dosage data from the wireless module upon triggering the switch; and   a locking mechanism engage able with a stalk of the piston.   
     
     
         10 . The reporting syringe of  claim 9 , wherein the locking mechanism is configured to prevent administration of the pharmaceutical before electronic patient verification. 
     
     
         11 . The reporting syringe of  claim 10 , wherein the locking mechanism is configured to prevent administration of the pharmaceutical before electronic pharmaceutical storage safety verification. 
     
     
         12 . The reporting syringe of  claim 11 , wherein the syringe is configured to prevent unlocking the locking mechanism when a load pressure sensor data comprises a load pressure sensor data point outside a predetermined load pressure sensor range. 
     
     
         13 . The reporting syringe of  claim 11 , wherein the syringe is configured to prevent unlocking the locking mechanism when load pressure sensor data indicates a load pressure sensor data point corresponding to injection outside a patient body. 
     
     
         14 . The reporting syringe of  claim 1 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises an administration completion data. 
     
     
         15 . The reporting syringe of  claim 14 , wherein triggering the switch corresponds to complete administration corresponding to an entire volume of a pharmaceutical from the reporting syringe and occurs only when the piston is substantially fully compressed. 
     
     
         16 . The reporting syringe of  claim 14 , wherein the switch is triggered when the piston is fully compressed. 
     
     
         17 . A reporting device adapted to fit a syringe, comprising:
 a body comprising a body receiver configured to frictionally fit the body of a syringe;   a head in slidable communication with the body, the head comprising a head receiver configured to frictionally fit the head of a syringe; and   a microprocessor in electronic communication with a sensor and a wireless module, the microprocessor configured to send a dosage data from the wireless module upon dosage administration.   
     
     
         18 . The reporting device of  claim 17 , wherein the sensor detects dosage administration, and the dosage data corresponds to less than complete administration. 
     
     
         19 . The reporting device of  claim 17 , wherein sensor detects administration completion and the dosage data comprises an administration completion data. 
     
     
         20 . The reporting device of  claim 17 , wherein the sensor comprises a switch that is triggered by dosage administration.
